Camp Make-a-Game Registrations Are Filling Up!

As summer seemingly approaches, Camp Make-a-Game comes near! There are still spots available for the Hand Eye Society’s week-long, full-day summercamp for kids ages 8-12 with Ryerson University.

This ain’t your typical summer camp! Kids will have digital screen instruction in the mornings, where they will learn point-and-click game creation tools. A majority of instruction will focus on design principles like game mechanics and game feel. After lunch, we will bring kids outdoors (that’s right, zero screen time) discussing and playing physical games like tag and hide-and-seek — then we will have them re-design the rules to make and play their own modified versions of the games, while getting some exercise. Kids will have both a digital and physical game by the end of camp.

The following are available dates that you can sign up for:

Week #1 (8 & 9 years) – Tuesday, July 3 – Friday, July 6, 2018

Week #2 (8 & 9 years) – Monday, July 9 – Friday, July 13, 2018 ** Full!

Week #3 (10 – 12 years) – Monday, July 16 – Friday, July 20, 2018 ** Less than 10 spots left

Week #4 (10 – 12 years) – Monday, July 23 – Friday, July 27, 2018 ** Less than 15 spots left

Fees: $465 (5-day weeks) / $410 (4-day week)
